Direct Enrollment/Exchange is a program provider offering 1872 abroad programs. Programs offered include Study Abroad, Internship, Volunteer, Intensive Language, Gap Year, Graduate Program, High School, Research, Online Program, TEFL Courses, and Adventure Travel abroad programs in 121 countries such as Spain, Venezuela, The United Kingdom, and Ireland.
Below you will find a directory of foreign universities and reviews from students who participated in an exchange, or in direct enrollment.
In a Direct Enrollment program, students have the option of applying directly to the university they wish to attend abroad. Students can go for either one or two semesters and apply using that university's application process listed for international students. Sometimes these students are called Visiting Students, Guest Students or Free Movers. At the foreign university, they will be supported by the university's office of international students, housed with other international students and have the opportunity not only to immerse in a foreign culture, but to do so with students from all over the world.
In an Exchange, you attend a foreign university and a foreign student attends your home university, a student swap for a semester or year. Your university will handle the details of the exchange, you just need to find the ideal foreign university. Hopefully the listings and reviews below can help you down that path. You will need to contact your university's study abroad department or your academic advisor for details on the exchange because the number of valid/active exchange partners may be very limited.
Study Abroad with Direct Enrollment/Exchange
"Communicating with local people was great experience. I got to travel to many places by myself. Meeting with other international students from other parts of the world and experiencing their cultures and languages were good too."
Tu L The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned that I can go into a city where I knew no one, find my way around, and learn to love a city I knew nothing about. I found groups of friends and was willing to take advantage of opportunities. I learned to take risks and be vulnerable. "

A student Bentley University
"I came into Ireland thinking that it would be very similar to the United States, and I was blown away by how wrong I was.

Traveling to oth..."

"I've been to Singapore many times before going to the exchange program, which was also the reason why I decided to study there.

I learned about the cultures and exposed myself to different thi..."
Glosso The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned so much about the local people and that not every country needs help from the more developed. I learned that they are capable of doing anything if they put their mind to it.
